Night of the Living Dead (original). Find the Japanese release, it's cropped a little bit, but the PQ is good and it has a decent amount of extras. Plus it comes in a black case.

I removed the others as they have 1080/50i encodes so are not region free. I hope you find some good releases!

There are scores of them released in the UK, though some have since seen American release.

Just an FYI in case some haven't heard; All the Boys Love Mandy Lane is finally getting a theatrical release in the US (most likely limited) later this year, from Radius-TWC (part of the Weinstein Company). I would assume that a BD release won't be too far behind, from Anchor Bay.

One thing to keep in mind is that certain parts of East Asia and Southeast Asia (notably Japan) are Region A territories.

House by the Cemetary, The Bird With the Crystal Plumage, Deep Red and Inferno all have North American Region A releases by Blue Underground. The Bird With the Crystal Plumage is currently OOP, but VCI is supposedly working on a rerelease.

Bay of Blood is scheduled for a North American Region A release on 04/16/2013 via Kino/Redemption. Amazon either doesn't have it listed for preorder yet or has it mislisted as a DVD.

Synapse is working on releases of Phemomena and Tenebrae for Noprth America. Release dates are as yet unknown.

Dead Silence has no North American release on Blu-Ray, but it does have a Japanese Region A release

To add to that, Pieces is available on DVD in NA as well. ;p Methinks the dude didn't understand the question?

Good to hear about Bay of Blood getting a release here. I own the pretty good-looking Arrow BD, curious to see if the Kino release fares any better.

Has there been word if Black Sabbath is getting a US release?

The Innocents is NOT region free, it's region B. The UK Basket Case trilogy steelbook is region free.

I think Kino should be getting it, but I haven't seen any dates yet.

When/if they do, it likely won't have the AIP cut, as with the other Kino Bavas. The Arrow Bavas all include both versions.

Let's hope they don't issue that awful revisionist garbage with the 2:1 aspect ratio.

I saw The Bird With the Crystal Plumage in Boston months ago. The print was faded and tinted RED! It definitely added to the atmosphere of the film!

Sorry, didn't check the link, I assumed you were referring to the BFI release.
